HILLSBOROUGH -- Families and individuals are invited to Temple Beth-El. 67 Route 206 north, on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 7-8:30 p.m. for a free open house. Light refreshments, wine and cheese will be served.

In addition to its worship services, Temple Beth-El offers a comprehensive, Early Childhood Education Center, as well as religious education, many opportunities for adult education, social action and community outreach in the context of a warm, supportive community.

The Religious School offers curricula in Jewish studies and Hebrew for school-aged children. The temple prepares students for Bar and Bat Mitzvah.

Temple Beth-El’s Early Childhood Education Center is licensed by the state Department of Human Services, Division of Youth and Family Services. Located in the Betty and Arthur Roswell Early Childhood wing of the temple, the center consists of ten sunlit, secure, and well-equipped classrooms, designed with the needs of young learners in mind. The center offers an integrated Jewish and secular curriculum that has been designed to enhance the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual growth of each child and to provide a supportive community for families.

A safe and secure outdoor play area and a spacious indoor multi-purpose room enhance the facility’s well-designed physical space. Each staff member helps provide our young students a program rich in Jewish teachings, culture, traditions, and values.

Representatives from the Early Childhood Center will be on hand during the open house to answer questions and provide information.
